Have they finally caught him ? US Anti Doping Agency has apparantly sent him a 30 page document impliing that past blood tests showed a definate case of Blood manipulation with the probable use of E.P.O and the use of Transfusions . And if found guilty will loose all his previous Tour de France titles and others

    You have to allow for the trickle down effect to occur.

    Fact about motorway driving.

    The speed limit is 70 mph which means based on available evidence that all the people out there with clean driving licenses must be driving at 70 mph or less.

    Not sure what it has to do with pro race cycling, but it's just an observation.

    "The History of the Tour De France - A Race For Madmen" - great book and very insightful.

    The history of cycle racing has a lot to do with where we are today. Once the horses have bolted after being forced out of the field, I can see why it's so difficult to get them to return.

    I'd like to point out Lance Armstrong is not PARANOID.

    A lot of people DO HATE him. :lol:

    What ever your opinion, until he's proven guilty, he should be treated as innocent. That's how it works isn't it ?

    This is an interesting read !

    Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed.
    Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved

    Thanks for posting Matt is does give another slant on this.

    Reading it it does show how USADA are prosecutor, judge and jury.

    If I were Lance I'd just shrug my shoulders and let them get on with it. There is noway he'll get a fair hearing.

    Err, a) what's wrong with USAD being prosecutor and jury, and b) why is Lance entitled to know who the witnesses are? It's not up to him to decide if they are credible or not.

    Yeah but doping is no big issue for them, if on the other hand you tell them he jumped a red light on his way to winning 7 Tours and the thread will never leave page 1 the dirty cheat. In fact, surely that short cut across the field is on a par with riding on the footway or going down a one way street? Cheating scumbag!!!

    A) You said it right there what is wrong with being prosecutor and jury? Forgive me but I thought the jury are independent and have no association with the prosecution and defence as to no conflict of interest.

    B) For a fair trial in normal circumstances this information would have to be disclosed to defence so they can make their case.

    Of course this isn't a fair trial it seems a witch hunt. If this was a court of law there would be outrage. Why else did the United States Department of Justice drop the case? Because there was not sufficient evidence that would stand up in a court of law.

    I'm no great fan of LA's or doping.

    What is to be achieved by continuing what looks ever like a witch hunt against the man?

    Let's assume he is found guilty, where is the line drawn, the records are re-written and then checks against those awarded the race must be checked. A whole can of worms is opened.

    IMHO, it's time the whole thing was just left to lie, if he did cheat he's gotten away with it. If he didn't all well and good. It's not like everyone whose won a grand tour has been clean is it.

    I think they need to leave him alone already what are they really trying to prove. How many times has the man been tested and cleared and investigated by this governing body and that governing body and had the charges dropped. STOP kincking the dead horse already!!! Lets not forget he has done more for cancer research in the form of raising money and awearness then all of the people combined who are trying to bring him down. Cancer has saddly touched alot of people in one from or another we should be thankful that people like Lance Armstrong care enought to raise money to help fight it...
